To everything there is a season, Torque! Torque! Torque!

New rules.

Three primary rules changes:

1) Added bases which must be bought, may be moved, double production at destinations and enforce kula gifts (bases promote late game arc, complexity and tension variance)

2) Changed default exploration bids ands VP/resource exchange rates in order to resolve previously noted ratio problems

3) Changed first turn and turn ordering to be a little more fair. First turn windfalls are still possible but can be bid against.

More minor changes:

  • Tweaked setup to add more fish

  • Determined distribution of market types

  • Rewrote route claiming bid resolution section for clarity

  • Simplified must-deliver/can’t-deliver rules

  • Revised/reversed turn order controls
